After opening the hatch, Viktor looks down it to see there is a ladder going down for what appears to be a some ways. About half way down the ladder Viktor notices someone yelling something. Once at the bottom you are in a large stone room with two large metal doors.

Victor motions from the bottom of the ladder for the others to come down, the coast being, as far as he can tell, clear. he also takes his scimitar out again, not having to climb anymore as far as he can tell.

Not sure if your last post was for me or the others, but you had originally told me, "Looks like steel to you. Lock seems pretty sturdy to you. It is similar to a prison cell." I bet you were talking to the others, but just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing anything.

After taking a moment to look at the lock in a disappointed fashion, Fafhrd would raise his head and offer the now free captive a his hand as a sign of camaraderie.

"Indeed, you wouldn't like me angry," he would say jestingly before taking on a more serious tone as he continued on to say, "but now is not the time to worry about such. Where did they take the other captive?"

"Thank you fr the offer, but I'm quite fine without the scimitar. I'll manage. Now they took the other guy that way," he said, pointing in the direction of the earlier screams. "And it sounded like they were working him over in a bad way.. Saying that, the Eruss takes off in that direction.

Drankich heads off to where he heard the noise of Asriel's screams. In the room with the ladder he heads to the other door opening it he sees a hall way that turns at the end. He notices that there are odd lamps glowing withing the hallway as well as there being two doors. The next thing he notices after opening the door is an odd metallic smell in the air.
